About

"ggpp" is a simple g++ interface made with python3, it is useful to run C/C++ code in only one command.
So, instead of:
g++ example.cpp -o example
./example
And sometimes you don't want the compiled file. So, you also do:
rm -rf example
All theses steps, can be reduced with ggpp to:

ggpp example.cpp

And you will run your C/C++ code without (optionally) leaving a compiled file on the folder.

Getting Started

Install ggpp is very simple.

Prerequisites

You will need python3 installed on your PC.
For Python 3 installation, download on the official page.

• Python 3 is already installed on the most linux distributions.
  Try run "python3" on your shell.

As the ggpp is a g++ interface, you will need it installed too.

As a plus, if you want to copy the content of you C/C++ code automatically after ran it, you will need xclip installed on linux.
For install it, you can follow this useful guide.
On Windows, to copy the content, you don't need any prerequisites.

Installing

Download or clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/davigsousa/ggpp.git

Then, open the repository folder

cd ggpp

And run pip3 to install the package.

pip3 install .

Now, restart your shell and you will be able to use ggpp, try:

ggpp --help

Usage

You can run your C/C++ code,
just passing the filename as first argument. On Windows, you need file path, like: .\targetfile.cpp

ggpp targetfile.cpp

You can also pass arguments to the g++ just passing in the end.

ggpp targetfile.cpp -Wall -H

Currently, there are two arguments to configure ggpp,
they are "-c" or "--clip" to copy file content to the clipboard (xclip is required on linux),
And "-nr" or "--noremove" to make ggpp do not remove the compiled file.

Usage:

ggpp example.cpp -c -nr
